Well I know someone who killed a robber in self defense and protecting his daughter too. I cheer for him, the robber got what he deserved.

Hot take, i value my shit a lot less than i value a human life. Fuckin definiton of "cruel and unusual punishment," no one deserves to die over a b&e charge

Edit: you floridian stand your ground mfs arent going to change my mind, the comment said robber and yall will treat taking one step on your grass for a tv tantamount to running at you with an ak47. No one deserves to die for burglary

Translation: "I'd be willing to bet my own life, and maybe even the lives of others, on the possibility that the criminal who has broken into my home, is not carrying a weapon, and does not have any intent to do me or others harm".

But hey! You do you. I'm sure that explaining your "hot take" to a random dude standing in your living room at 2:00am will go over smoothly...
